Unit 14217
Category: Layer dug in 2007
Area: Trench 5
Data Category Information: none
Discussion: This layer is being removed as an arbitrary layer because currently there are only negative impressions showing in an otherwise fairly homogenous horizon. No specific features were visible before execution, although some quickly became apparent as the unit was dug (eg 14219). This layer seemed to consist of mixed, midden like material that collected on top of the final layer of settlement on the mound, or a structure such as a grave (north-south-west) showing at th east side of the unit.
On further excavation following the mudbrick feature 4208, it became apparent that severe animal disturbance was present. Dispersed amongst this was mudbrick chunks, faunal bone and Byzantine and Chalocolithic pottery.

Finds Room Information:
All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.
